Additional Centre Information

Sian Ewart

Centre Director

My name is Sian. I have worked with Goodstart Early Learning for 10 years. I have worked my way from a traineeship to a Diploma.

Working in NSW, WA, and now QLD. I am drawn to early childhood education to help shape and support children of our future communities. I am passionate about supporting children and families beyond our services within the centre and creating pathways for each child and family's needs to endeavour to their next chapter in learning, living and growing. Please feel free to visit the centre and say Hi.

Our stunning centre is located across from the Kruger State Primary School. Within our centre we have four beautiful learning environments which cater for children from 15 months up to our Kindergarten class room where we have dedicated early childhood teachers which work alongside our local schools to help prepare our children in their journey to Prep through our Approved Queensland Kindergarten Program. We also have a large outdoor space where our learning continues under stunning large trees to provide ample shade for our children.

At our centre, we have a team of many dedicated and passionate educators who have been long term standing staff. Our staff actively engage in professional development to continually upskill and strive to provide high quality care for all. 

Here at Goodstart Redbank Plains we provide all meals including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and also a late snack which is prepared fresh daily at our centre by our centre cook. We are an inclusive centre where we respect all families cultural, dietary or allergy requirements and meals are made individually to cater for all needs respectfully. The centre provides nappies, wipes and sunscreen. 

Here at Goodstart Redbank Plains we acknowledge the Yuggera, Jagera and Ugarapul people as the traditional Custodians of the land where we play, work, and learn. We respect elders past present and emerging. Using the Key Educator approach, we believe in creating a culture where each child feels safe, secure, welcomed, loved, nurtured, and supported in our environment and accepted for the unique individual they are. We encourage families to have play dates before starting which creates opportunities to build strong, trusting, reciprocal relationships allowing for smoother transitions. We encourage families to provide input to Educators about their home lives, needs, wants in relation to their child and their individual routine. Children are taught about diversity within children’s different cultural, family situations and additional needs. We are committed to providing an environment that encourages sustainability by role modelling sustainable practices to help make our world we live in more sustainable. At Goodstart Redbank Plains we recognise that Parents, Carers and Educators are the best role models for our children and look to us as examples to learn from – kindness, understanding and a sense of community.

We look forward to sharing your child’s learning journey with you and can’t wait to meet you to take you on a centre tour through our beautiful Goodstart Early Learning Redbank Plains.

My son has been at goodstart for around 2 years now. His confidence and social skills have grown so much with him. We love our beautiful educatirs who go above and beyond to make our boy feel comfortable and safe. We intend to enrol our daughter when she is old enough :) I cannot fault the care and guidance we have received since enrolling.
Google ReviewOctober 19, 2021
After recently relocating to Queensland from Sydney earlier this year, we were in a rush to find care for our 2 kids aged 4 and 3 years. For this reason we settled quickly for care at another centre and were left dissatisfied with the attention to detail and responsiveness from our previous location. From this negative experience elsewhere we searched for a local Goodstart centre nearby as we had heard good things about the organisation. They responded very quickly and informed us that we would be placed on the waiting list. Lisa from Goodstart Redbank Plains kept in close communication with us during that entire process and held our positions even when we had to delay our start date. Since commencing care, the kids look forward to their 3 days at the centre with the many educators and friends they've made. They often speak about the activities and interactions they've had even on days they don't come in and on the weekends. I'm grateful for the support and welcoming received from all the lovely staff at this centre and we look forward to see our children continue to thrive during our time with you. Thank you 😊
My daughter has grown so much since starting at Goodstart Redbank Plains a year ago! She is no longer shy, but a confident, outgoing little girl. I know that she’s in safe hands when I drop her off. She enjoys it so much that she often wants to stay longer when I pick her up! The educators are always super friendly and happy to answer any of our questions or discuss any concerns. They prepare so many fun yet educational activities for the children each day. Oh and the play area outdoors is great! I’ll definitely enrol my newborn daughter when she’s old enough too :)
I feel at peace when dropping my 3yr old off to the centre because i know he is in great hands. He loves the huge outdoor play area, the educators are very professional in what they do, lots of different ideas, my child has developed so much and has learned about things very quickly. Great to have feedback from teachers as well. Meals are nutritious.😀👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely love this centre! I've had my kids in 2 others and visited multiple, this is by far the best. We've been here for almost 1.5yrs now. ⭐Friendly & Professional staff ⭐Quality environment indoors and outdoors ⭐Curriculum/learning/play schedules are spot on! They're always keeping the kids entertained and coming up with new ideas! ⭐Food made in the centre ⭐High staff retention Can't fault them! Highly recommend

Unfortunately below comment is true i had to take both my kids out due to similar behaviour. Very concerning that this behaviour is being covered up.

Firstly, the review directly below is a fabricated expression of lies, posted by small minded internet “trolls” not associated with this service, who obviously have nothing better to do with their time than to write nonsense in relation to actual hard working educators. They have obviously not thought through the repercussions of such an act on the internet. In reality, you will find a group of thoroughly professional educators, Director and Assistant Director, who strive daily to ensure each child’s needs are met to the best of their ability. (including Miss Shivani, who is an excellent educator) They will contact you regarding concerns either in person or by phone promptly. The menu is great and the meals are cooked fresh daily. The staff ensure any additional needs are met, eg: food allergies or cultural requirements. My child attends this centre regularly and receives the best care possible. They provide everything he needs and always give me feedback daily – both verbally and via Story park. He loves the toys and the spacious yard so he can run around. He loves attending the centre and he really has connected with the educators, most who have been at this service long term. I recommend this centre to any parents in the area.
Google ReviewSeptember 03, 2020
Do not send your children here, very careless and do not care about the children's safety, staff threaten and Miss Shivani is rough with the children and do not supervise them! Have made multiple complaints to the director but seems to get pushed aside.
